LOAN REPORT: JENNINGS' CHELTENHAM TOP FOR CHRISTMAS

Mckay scores as Dundee United remain bottom of the Scottish Premiership.

Taylor injured in midweek for Reading, Holt on as substitute for Wolves on Sunday.

Only four Latics players featured over the past seven days, with Emyr Huws out injured for Huddersfield Town, Sam Cosgrove an unused substitute for Chorley FC, and Danny O'Brien and Wrexham's match on Friday called off due to a waterlogged pitch at Braintree Town.

INVERNESS CT 2 DUNDEE UNITED 2 - BILLY MCKAY

It's been a tough season for Dundee United so far and it continued on Saturday with a 2-2 draw away at Inverness CT. Despite looking like Billy Mckay's eighth goal of the season had sealed a crucial victory for United with nine minutes to play, Inverness equalised for a second time in the match on the stroke of full time through Lewis Horner.

United remain bottom of the Scottish Premiership on 10 points, 11 points from safety following the defeat on Mckay's return to his former club.
